posted 11/29/2009 8:10:46 PM Dear George, Look at the left column. Go to BOOKS AND WRITTEN EXPERIENCES. Scroll down to THE PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE 493D ARMORED FIELD ARTILLERY. Go to page 93 (printed on the bottom of thepage) There you will see some pictures and names.I could not find your father's name, but his picture could be there. Also see page 29. There may well be other pagesthat mention the air spotters.

If you want more information, contact the Unit Representative to the Hellcat News:

Marvin Bertelson, (408)739 5958.No email.

Yours truly, Mike Woldenberg

I just discovered a video on the 12th armored site:

Go to VIDEOS in the left column. Click on the film:

EYES OF THE ARMY

Again, your father's name is not mentioned, but maybeyou can identify his picture.
